Cannot synchronize "ON MY MAC" calendars in Ical with iCloud.

Cannot synchronize "ON MY MAC" calendars in Ical with iCloud. It works well from iCloud to Ical, and Ical to iCloud except for all the calendars in the "ON MY MAC" group.
Please help.

That's correct: both in MobileMe and iCloud you cannot 'sync' 'On My Mac' calendars. This is because there is no actual syncing in the literal sense: the calendars are held on the server, and read from there by iCal (think of it as being like webmail and it makes sense).
The only way to 'sync' an 'On My Mac' calendar is to move it to iCloud. This page is written for MobileMe but the principle is the same: please follow the first set of numbered instructions.

  • How do I sync 'on my mac' calendar in ical with icloud or an alternative for my iphone?

    I'm using Outlook 2011  with 2 IMAP email addresses, a business email and a gmail address.  The only reason I'm using Outlook instead of Mail, Address Book and iCal is because there were issues with me receiving meeting invites from business colleagues.  Anyway, now I'm using Outlook, my contacts & calendar are no longer synchronising with my iPhone (4).  I'm using the Outlook synch services to copy the Contact info to Address Book and the calendar info to iCal. BUT, the calendar in iCal is 'On My Mac' and doesnt get picked up by iCloud. 
    Can anyone help with simple suggestions for a wireless solution for keeping Outlook calendar in synch with my phone?  Would upgrading my email account to Exchange be a solution?

    Thanks Winston.  I'm aware that the 'on my mac' calendar doesn't get picked up by iCloud.  I'm wondering whether anyone can help with the best alternative solution for synchronisation of phone and Outlook.

  • HT5029 Subscription Calendars in iCal with iCloud

    I tried this (changing location of subscription calendar) with Lion, and it didn't offer me the choice to select iCloud as a location...only On My Mac

    If you enable it in iCloud, it should sync atuomatically. Make a backup of it before changing anything.

  • Problems with synchronizing iCal with iCloud accounts on my Mac Pro

    I have problems with synchronizing iCal with iCloud calender accounts on my Mac Pro runnning OS 10.6.8
    (error message "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden" på handlingen CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.)
    It works fine on iOS devices.

    Due to lacking hardware driver compatibility i our graphic production environment we can't upgrade to Lion.
    Does that mean that it after the closing of MobileMe is impossible to synchronize calenders to Mac's running OS 10.6.8 ??

  • How to synchronize Address Books and Calendar Books in Mavericks 10.9.2, I am unable to synchronize my Address and Calendar Books informations with my iPhone 4 via iTunes

    Since I updated my MacBook Pro's OS X version 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2, I am unable to synchronize my Address and Calendar Books informations with my iPhone 4 via iTunes.  What do I need to do to update these data ?

    I cannot synchronize the Address Book and Calendar data, even by means of iCloud or similar servers.  It appears these data are not selected automatically during synchronization. How can one select Address Book and Calendar Book in Mavericks for synchronization ?

  • My mac pro is not a duo processor so i cannot upgrade to LION and that means now with icloud i cannot receive email unless i go directly to icloud website to get it.  i cannot afford to buy a new laptop, does that mean i will always have this inconvenienc

    Do I have to buy a new duo processor lap top to continue getting my email using my mac.com address?  Do i have to give up my mac.com email address and go to another provider?

    It's the System which counts rather than the hardware. Your signature says you have 10.6.8. You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard - when asked to confirm that you have Lion on your Mac, just lie and say 'yes'.
    If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it. You may find the MobileMe email settings will continue to work for a time after migrating but it will stop eventually so you should not rely on this. You should delete your MobileMe email account from Mail.
    You can then set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
    You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, and there is a convoluted hack which has been reported as working for Address Book (and as not working by others - I've not tried it), but iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    There are a couple of third-party solutions which may be of interest.
    BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99.
    Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
    (I have no connection with either firm.)

  • Under iCloud system setting, I can't click on the Calendar box to sync my iCal with iCloud

    I followed all the precedure to enable iCloud for my Macbook Pro. However, under iCloud system setting, everytime when I clikc on he Calendar box (same with contact and other boxes), it appears to sync for few minutes then the box become unclicked. I realized the click is grey instead of solid black too. Not sure why, but I really need to sync my iCal with iCloud as I accidentlly delete everything on my iCloud Calendar which earse everything on my iphone too.
    I am using os X and all other software should be most updated too!

  • HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

    Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

    Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
    And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
    "The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
    The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

  • HT5029 Reconfiguring existing subscribed calendars to push with iCloud

    I am not able to complete "Reconfiguring existing subscribed calendars to push with iCloud" using the directions given. The location, neither On My Mac, nor iCloud show up when I try to reconfigure (as shown in instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5029).  When I choose Get Info from my birthday subscription calendar, I can only "Ignore Alerts" or "Open Address Book."
    I want to be able to see my birthday calendar items on iCloud.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Many thanks, Cheryl

    Greetings Cheryl,
    The Birthday calendar in iCal s not a server based subscription which is what that article you reference deals with.  The Birthday calendar feeds directly from the contents of the Address Book on your Mac.
    To have your birthdays in iCloud:
    Go to Apple > System Preferences > iCloud -- Make sure "Contacts" (aka Address Book) is checked.
    Then follow this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2676
    Hope that helps.

  • HT5058 Syncing Exchange Account in iCal with iCloud

    I have successfully added an Exchange account calendar to my iCal. Problem is I can't get my Exchange calendar to sync with iCloud.
    How do I get my Exchange account calendar to sync with iCloud since they appear in different sections? Thank you.

    I think I have a solution: delete the shared calendars from your iCloud calendar list and then log into your husband's iCloud account. Stop sharing all the calendars in question and re-share them again to your iCloud e-mail address.
    I had to do this very thing and lo and behold, the new invitations took just fine and now, no more 403 errors. So, the source of the problem would appear to be a server-side permissions or backoffice kind of problem. The workaround is to delete the sharing properties (i.e. stop sharing) and then re-share the calendars again. I think maybe now with this information, Apple should be able to home in on a real fix but until then, try this workaround. Hope this helps you.

    How to I sync my 10.6.8 ical with icloud  and then to my ipad

    I find that I can sync fine with Entourage and I cal under Leopard. I can also subscribe to the Leopard I-calendar on another computer (running Tiger). However, the calendar will not go onto a web page as it used to; this is very frustrating for my colleagues! We need a fix here I think.
